Europe has undergone quite profound changes since the end of the Cold War. Having been a highly militarised, conflict-ridden and war-ridden region, the core of Europe today constitutes a security community where armed conflicts among the constituent states has become inconceivable. This comprehensive book offers a theoretically founded and thoroughly documented analysis of European security, with a special emphasis on the role played by the United Nations and the various regional and sub-regional organisations, especially the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the Council of Europe and the European Union.When it comes to explaining peace in Europe opinions differ widely. Some argue that it was only because the West refused to give in to Soviet threats that the latter eventually gave up; or that the 'long peace' in Europe was due to the combination of a bipolar alliance structure, pitting the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) against the Warsaw Pact, with the presence of nuclear weapons on both sides. Others point instead to the extraordinarily dense network of international institutions and organisations in Europe, offering a wide panoply of fora in which to handle disputes peacefully; or to the web of interdependence in economic and other affairs, tying together all states in Europe in relations which militate strongly against war. Still others believe that the external peace between the states in Europe is simply a reflection of a convergence of cultures, democracies with marked economies that are open towards the world market. These questions are the focal point of this book, which concentrates on security, albeit not in the sense of being a treatise on military matters, but security obtainable by much more indirect and non-military means. It will be required reading for all students and scholars of European security and the organisations which underpin it.

This report provides the technical details of an Institute for Civil Justice analysis of trends and patterns in punitive damage awards in financial injury cases in selected jurisdictions during the period 1985 through 1994. The jurisdictions include all state trial courts of general jurisdiction in the states of California and New York; Cook County, Illinois (Chicago); the St. Louis, Missouri, metropolitan area; and Harris County, Texas (Houston). These data are supplemented by information obtained from the Administrative Office of the Alabama Courts for verdicts reached in that state's trial courts of general jurisdiction during the period 1992 to 1997. The study also estimates what percentage of the financial injury punitive awards in the database would have been affected by caps of various sizes and how the caps would have affected the total amount of punitive damages awarded in such cases.

Die Folgelasten des Ersten Weltkriegs hatte in den 1920er und 1930er Jahren keineswegs nur Deutschland zu tragen; auch die meisten anderen europäischen Demokratien sahen sich durch hohen finanz- und wirtschaftspolitischen Problemdruck und zunehmenden Legitimationsverlust des parlamentarischen Regierungssystems mehr oder weniger stark gefährdet. Doch während die Weimarer Republik unter der Last der Probleme zusammenbrach, überstand die Dritte Französische Republik trotz gravierender Schwächesymptome die gemeineuropäische Krise noch bis 1940 und ging erst durch die militärische Niederlage gegen

18 namhafte Historiker und Historikerinnen beleuchten erstmals das Verhältnis Willy Brandts zu Frankreich seit seinen ersten Besuchen in Paris in den 1930er Jahren bis zu seinem Tod. Dies geschieht im Wechsel zwischen französischer und deutscher Perspektive, ein methodischer Ansatz, der sich als äußerst fruchtbar erweist.

Of the Same Breath opens the door to a better understanding of why and how the animals and places of southern Africa have been given the names they have today. The vast reaches of the information provided in this book have been drawn together to create a veritable cornucopia of answers to the old question of how names originated. In this linguistically thought-provoking book, readers will be guided through the origins of animal names and toponyms, from the coastline of South Africa to the northern border of Namibia, and from the mighty elephant to the humble grasshopper.

The subject of this study are depictions of Heracles and Theseus on Roman terracotta reliefs, also called Campana reliefs. It is based on 16 different motifs, which were established during the middle of the 1st century B.C. The aim of the study is to show how these motifs were received and what meaning lies behind these reliefs regarding the historical background of the late Republic and early imperial period.

In the first part of this thesis we extend the theory of anisotropic Triebel-Lizorkin spaces to time-periodic functions. In particular, the spatial trace space is determined together with the existence of extension operators. Additionally, some results regarding pointwise multiplication are provided. As a preparation for this theory we prove a transference principle for multipliers with values in the spaces of summable sequences. Secondly, we consider the equations of magnetohydrodynamics with a background magnetic field and time-periodic forcing. Maximal regularity of the time-periodic linear problem is established by applying the results of the first part. The existence of a solution to the non-linear problem is shown for a large class of background magnetic fields via a fixed-point argument.

"1968" ist mittlerweile zur Chiffre für eine gesamte Zeitsignatur geworden, für Krisenhaftigkeit und Krisenbewusstsein weltweit. Die Ausbrüche vom Mai 1968 verweisen auf tiefe historische Zäsuren und gesellschaftliche Umbrüche. Ausgangsbedingungen, Konfliktlagen und Ausprägungen von Protest und Reformen untersucht der Band erstmals in einem deutsch-französischem Vergleich. Renommierte Experten aus Deutschland und Frankreich spannen einen weiten Bogen von politikgeschichtlichen Zugängen über wirtschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Themen, kulturgeschichtliche Analysen bis hin zur Einbettung in den internationalen Rahmen. Auf diese Weise zeichnen sie ein tiefenscharfes Panorama, das transnationale Antriebsmomente ebenso klar hervortreten lässt wie nationale Besonderheiten.
